OLD HUGHES I HAVE been asked to tell something about the Old Hughes building on West Fifth Street. The accompanying cut gives a very fair idea of the school and its surroundings as they were in the early seventies. There were but eight recitation rooms in the original building, four on the first floor and four on the second. The third floor was occupied by an audi- torium. Later, two recitation rooms were cut off of the south end of the auditorium. The small vestibule on the first floor in the front of the building was used as a French recitation room. The French teacher then taught a half-day at Hughes and the remaining half at Woodward. The small room above the vestibule on the second floor was the principa1's office, and the one above that on the third floor, was a dressing room back of the stage which then occupied the north end of the auditorium. A couple of rooms in the Brachman building, shown in the cut, on the east side of the school were later used as recitation rooms. In 1886 an addition of six rooms was placed in front of the Hughes building. This addition was the cause of much indignation among the graduates and friends of Old Hughes as it conformed in no way to the architectural design of the picturesque old building, but was simply a plain box as its detractors called it, placed to hide the beauty of the old building. The new part of the house was heated by furnace, but the rooms of the old part were heated by stoves up to the time that we moved to our new quarters. During the last few years that we occupied the Fifth Street building, some apprehension was felt because the wooden stairs in the old part shook and swayed when classes were passing. We were assured that they were perfectly safe. After we moved to the hill, the upper fioors of the old home were declared unsafe and the School Board was allowed to use only the first floor for school purposes. The Old Hughes building when erected, was in the midst of a residential neighborhood. The character of its surroundings changed very much in its latter years. The original residents moved to the suburbs and their places were filled by foreigners and negroes. The soot and smoke from the chimneys of the factories that filled the bottoms to the south of us added to our discomfort, and it was with considerable satisfaction that we moved to the New Hughes in Clifton Heights.
